I turned 50. The big 5-0. This needs a commemoration. I decided to start an arts journal and commit to 50 pages — 50 works of art over the year.

I was motivated in Europe by all the art I saw everywhere. I was inspired by the Picasso Museum. Pablo was quite the masterdabbler. He dived into painting, wood working and sculpture. His painting style varied from classic, impressionism, cubism, and abstract. Fearless and confident.

For the next year, I’ll share pages from the book. I am diving in to explore different styles to help me find my artistic voice. My inner Picasso.
